Most people are well aware of who Lorde is. She's won two Grammy awards and was nominated for a Golden Globe. She also has a kind of scary, edgy vibe to her and is a member of Taylor Swift's squad. She's a pretty big deal ... but isn't so royal after all.
It turns out the "Royal" singer's Uber driver had absolutely no idea who she was. In fact, he couldn't care less according to her tweets where she revealed he was MUCH more interested in the famous passenger before her.

i can tell our ride, by comparison, sparkles significantly less for him
— Lorde (@lorde) July 26, 2016
i can feel it from the back seat, his dazed glow. he's probably now pretending that i am not here, that they are still together, and alone

Although it's unknown who the other celebrity was, Ellie Goulding then shared her Uber experience with Lorde on Twitter.
@lorde Mine said he had someone from Ellie Gouldings band in earlier. But didn't like her music soooo.

It seems pretty clear that Goulding's awkward experience is the real awkward Uber winner here. Even Lorde seemed to agree by her response.
@elliegoulding i just winced

In the end, Lorde's fan's were more interested in when she would be releasing new music than the singer's Uber experience.
I'm really embarrassed that I cried thinking the last few tweets @lorde posted were new lyrics when in reality they were about an uber ride

@lorde stop tweeting about an uber driver. You have an album to finish
